AN:Gift drabbles, because She-knows-who-She-is-&-didn't-want-you-to-know wanted something about this pairing. Drabbles will be posted here. I like Kataang and Maiko and enjoyed the series. I have a partial thing for Zutara though. Do not post hate reviews please.

Disclaimer:Not mine. The series ended as we knew it would, but the nice owner's of avatar gave some fan service to Zutarians. Fanfic inspiration. Thank you!! Your series was wonderful!

Title: Fate Won't Allow

Rating: T for all because I never know what I'll post.
Chapter- K

Summary: The war is over, and all is as it should be. Zuko has his love, Katara has hers. Fate won't allow it any other way…but I will. A Zutara drabble collection.

Setting:Througout &/or after series


Prompt 1…Seeing the Clash

(Anytime)

She tells her tale and he listens. He tales his tale and she listens. Yet, no words are ever exchanged.

There is only water and fire, complete yet essential opposites, and the movements they use, built on the need to live. They weave intricate patterns based on each other and both create beauty, as well as destruction.

They are meant to battle, and fight- They are meant to Clash. And clash they do…as they stand against each other for what they believe. They tell their tales with battle, and thus, he knows her, just as she knows him. At the same time, they know nothing. It is odd paradox, but not unexpected.

Because the battle is all they see. An opposing warrior stands is the way. Time and time again, it is the same. Sweat and water and fire and hate. They face each other but do not see. They only feel, and each time the end is as fast as how it began.

They separate…there is no winner, yet each knows they must get stronger. They must learn more in able to to survive..and to win next time.

It is the thought of a next time that gives pause.

Appa flies away with the Avatar, with the boy, and with her. Firebender and Waterbender eyes finally meet as if for the first time after clashing for so long. They know each other, yet they know nothing.

Zuko sees Katara…Katara sees Zuko.

It is nothing more

But it is nothing less.
